TKO: Total Knock Out: Man, this show's fortunes changed fast. While it had a decent start and second-week hold, it fell to a 0.6 in its third week. This alone prompted me to downgrade it. And then, CBS turned on the show, yanking it from the Wednesday lineup in favor of SEAL Team repeats and pushing it to Fridays with Whistleblower. It did decent-ish there, but they're clearly over this show already, and its odds of renewal are nonexistent. It's a CERTAIN CANCELLATION.
Pink Collar Crimes: The premiere of this crime reality series didn't go too well, with a 0.3 for its first episode. It's an improvement on what CBS had been on Saturdays, but not a huge one. I'd say it's a slightly more successful launch than Whistleblower, which started at 0.4 on a night that is far less toxic. A 0.3 start still doesn't inspire much confidence in the show's future, but with costs that are likely incredibly low, it has a chance to return if it can hold around here or even grow. It LEANS CANCELLATION.
The Four: Season two of Fox's answer to American Idol and The Voice just wrapped, with yet another season high of 1.0. Considering that the show nearly hit a 0.6 at one point this season, this is an incredible result, and it proves that the show really does have its own audience. A 1.0 is a very strong Summer number, so this show is getting a huge upgrade, straight to CERTAIN RENEWAL.
Making It: It wasn't a great premiere night for the new crafting series from Parks & Rec's Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, but it was an OK one. With a 1.1, this is lower than anything World of Dance did in the slot in either of its two seasons occupying it. However, it's still a perfectly acceptable number that's in-line with what Hollywood Game Night did in the slot last year. The only problem here is that, being a new show, it's probably going to drop in the coming weeks. How far it drops will determine whether it'll come back or not, but I have to predict based on the data I have, so it currently LEANS RENEWAL.
